Middleware information

[Former Member]

Hi All,

My clinet has ECC 6 and needs to talk to other non-sap systems. I understand that we need to have a middleware to make this happen. I was thinking to implement XI. But i came to know that even to implement XI some hardware procurement is necessary. And we are running out of time. To implement XI itself would be a mini project of 4-6 months (correct me if i am wrong).

Is there any other way to get data into SAP without usage of middleware. Say i need to import customer master, material master, pricing into SAP from JD Edwards and Mainframes.

Can anyone give me all the required details on how to achieve feasible solution on this.

Regards,

Jayant

hi jayant,

What ruslim says definetly is true that there are other ways of doing data migration between legacy systems and SAP but then it would be a short sighted solution. If you use XI things would be difficult in the begining but then in the long run it would be advantageous. Setup and installation of xi is not such a big task that it would take 4 to 6 months. You could do it in a matter of days.
